Realtek 8111F

[Karl Stenlund]

I installed freebsd 9.0_amd64 and it can't find my network. i tried to add
"if_re_load="YES"" But it didn't help.
Is the Realtek 8111F not suported by freebsd yet?

Support for RTL8168/8111F was added after releasing 9.0-RELEASE.
Use 8.3-RELEASE or latest stable. Alternatively download the
following files from HEAD and rebuild kernel on 9.0-RELEASE.
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/re/if_re.c
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/pci/if_rl.c
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/pci/if_rlreg.h

I have teh same problem and I wasn't  successful to compile a driver.
Can somebody upload a compiled amd64 driver?

You can install this very easily (P8H77-I, fresh freebsd 9.0 install):
1) download the three driver files:
if_re.c
if_rl.c
if_rlreg.h

2) navigate to your download folder (or put it on a usb pen and navigate to that one)
3) copy files to the rght folder:
        # cp if_re.c /usr/src/sys/dev/re/if_re.c
        # cp if_rl.c /usr/src/sys/pci/if_rl.c
        # cp if_rlreg.h /usr/src/sys/pci/if_rlreg.h
4) recompile your kernel:
        # cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf
        # cp GENERIC GENERIC.org
        # cd /usr/src
        # make buildkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC
        # make installkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC
        # reboot
5) check if adaptor is present
        # ifconfig
        -> should show something like:
        re0: ....
        ether ....
        inet ....
5) configurate your adaptor (easy dns config)
        # ee /etc/rc.conf
6) add the following line:
        # ifconfig_re0="DHCP"
7) save the file
        # reboot

Thank you for your tutorial.

I compiled the three files (64bit)

and my RTL8111F was detected :)

Also found that sys/dev/pci/pcireg.h helped my kernel build complete...
